This BMW deployed the passenger side air bag, driving down the highway at 70mph. At the same time both front tires went flat. I do not know at this time if the tires were punctured by an object or not. My wife was driving the car and said that she was cruising at 70mph, (8:30am with good visability) when the airbag deployed she pulled over and noticed that she had two flat tires on the front. There was tire failure with this incident, however I only know that the brand tire is dunlop. The car is at the dealership at this time. This so far, is a real mystery to us!!!!!!!
